Templates control the default settings for conferences. Currently there are two templates:
The top level template: provides the settings that appear on the Add conference page which you see when you add a scheduled conference by using the web interface. When you add a conference, you can then alter any of the settings. You can alter some conference settings during the conference.
The ad hoc conferences template: provides the configuration for all ad hoc conferences. You can alter some conference settings during the conference.
If a template has a parent, it can use the settings from the parent or override them with its own values.
For information about the conference configuration settings, refer to Adding and updating conferences which lists all conference configuration settings.
